XML testing and validating

[lowrie333]

I am new to XML, and would like to find a freely downloadable system in which I can start generating and testing/validating some XML. I have MS SQL Server installed on a machine at work and this should give me the chance to test the files I write. So far I have found an installable package developed by Edinburgh Univ. (LT XML) containing source and dll's for compilation as a parser and test system, but this does require some expertise to get working! Does anyone know if there is anything pre-compiled for the Win32 environment that I could use?

As an Edinburgh University computer science student, I can find out for you...
